NPPF short bio

[Otto]

I think Pynchon would like this biography:

"Vladimir Nabokov was born. This much, at least, I can deduce from the fact
of his having lived. To say more so soon would be unnecessarily audacious,
and to say less would be to say, almost, nothing. Unless, perhaps, I might
emend my first choice thus: Vladimir Nabokov was. Voilà. I think it would be
impossible to improve upon that."
